It's abit off topic but, K0nane, How you doing these day's?

I'd like to say thanks a dozen times for this great ROM, without it, my epic would be so bland.

Yesterday I got to use a epic that was stock on EC05, and oh my, the guy was so jealous of mine.

I had been meaning to ask about this for awhile. Whats up with the vanishing blue market icon?
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
What kind of bird?:D
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
I think it's because the market that comes with ACS is an older version, so when your phone booted up it updated the market with a newer one, which didn't have ACS's theme applied to it.

Am I right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
That happens. :D

Crow.

Yes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VeNoM vZ:
thanks that helped. but what should i do about the market? i keep having to agree to the terms of service every time i open it. thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Clear data for it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VeNoM vZ:
i cleared the cache and data as well and it doesn't seem to help, the problem its still there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
It may be a Google or Sprint problem, but a total wipe and reflash would certainly fix it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jockovonred:
maybe try a cache and davlik-cache clear in CWM then if that doesn't work, try fix permissions.

if it still doesn't work, do what k0nane says below:
[Epic 4G Android Development] Maui4x4:
Flashing the eb13 modem solved my random battery drain issue... now I seem to be getting great battery life like the previous ACS release. I haven't tested with a full charge yet but will post screen of usage later. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Glad it's working well for you! See folks, this is what happens when you search... very good things. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] skywalker6705:
Okay, I spent a good deal of time trying to track down all the info I needed, but sadly I missed a step. Running Syndicate 1.1.0 on my Epic 4g now, upgraded from 1.0.2. Did not do the update from EB13 to EC05 prior, as I wasn't aware (my mistake).

Now my issue is that I cannot get Clockworkmod to install the update.zip to go from EB13 to EC05, because it fails with a status 7 (because the build doesn't match what it's looking for). So I'm currently on Syndicate 1.1.0 with EB13, not EC05.

Is there any easy way to update to EC05 other than to flash back down to Syndicate 1.0.2, update, then flash to 1.1.0?

Forgive me if this seems a bit wrong, but this has been my first android phone, and I got it pre-rooted with CWM 3.0.0.5 installed. So it's been a learn-as-I-go process over the past few weeks.

edit: Reading more in this thread, is the EC05 modem really fine for me right now? It seems to be causing some battery issues like with the poster above. Just wondering what the risk/reward breakdown is on this, because if it's only a marginal battery gain vs. the risk of huge failure, that would suck.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
You're on EC05. What you don't have is the EC05 modem. Flash that - it's linked in the second post - in Odin. If you find battery life is worse - and most people don't - flash back to the EB13 modem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BBlunts456:
Don't know if this issue has been addressed but I'm getting massive swype force closes. (5 times tryin to post this) is there a fix? TIA
[Epic 4G Android Development] Djinn23:
Clear data and cache for swype under manage applications. Enable journaling or always shut your phoone down right too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BBlunts456:
I've tried to wipe cache n data, it hasn't worked.... I tried to uninstall it but don't get the option.... I'm at a loss... wtf...lol... being drunk n tryin to text is drivin me crazy. Thanks anyway.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ErlyD:
I was going to ask if buying a class 6 or above would speed that up. Guess it will. Always thought it was a hardware limitation on the phone making it useless to get a higher speed card.

Anyone tried it? Class 6 or higher?
[Epic 4G Android Development] skywalker6705:
Well, I was worried for a second Odin had bricked me. Everyone gives conflicting advice as whether to use PDA or Phone when flashing the new EC05 Modem tarball. I tried Phone. And then I had no phone.

Thankfully resetting it with no battery in let me re-enter download mode and reflash under the PDA option, which went fine. Scary there for a minute though, thought the wrong option might've screwed me over.

I suppose the issue for me is everyone just keeps saying use Odin, without really detailing what Odin is or exactly what the .pit and .tar files do respectively. Or which mode to use. Near as I can tell, the .pit is the profile for the device type you're flashing to (victory_8G confused me), and the .tar is the actual modem data. Why we need to use PDA instead of Phone, I have no idea. Thanks for the clarification that I was already using EC05 though. I wasn't aware that EC05 was anything but a modem version.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Djinn23:
Glad you got it. To be fair odin instructions are all over the epic pages including some stickies. A lack of guidence and a little self research can go a long way. It is unrealistic to ask those helping here to lay down full odin directions every time a request for someone to odin is posted.

I understand as you do and b elieve that the sections don't really matter except that the pda and phone sections have specific file types associated with them so you may not see your file when browsing. I believe this because of the conflicting info.

The nature if modifying stuff is that of the path less traveled and you will get what people believe...which frequently conflicts with other advice too. The good news is that you have to nearly try to brick these...so they are noob friendly.

Njoy
[Epic 4G Android Development] dohturdima:
FWIW, go with a card with better sequential read/write speeds, class rating only means something when you are transferring a large file - but not for sequential reads/writes when you are running apps off a card. I know this because I have a Nook Color and am running CM7 off uSD card - and had a Sandisk Class 4 greatly outperform a Class 10 Patriot card (usable and fast vs. slow and unusable). If you are going to be buying another card, strongly recommend a Sandisk (class 2 or 4) or Transcend Class 6 (both have really good user-tested sequential read/write speeds). Btw, I am still running the OEM Samsung card in my phone, and my feeling is that it has decent sequential read/write speeds. Not great, but decent for our purposes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Donmeister85:
Just reflash and try again. Wipe cache and dalvik cache partition of course.

Kudos to Team ACS

I went to the sprint store this morning. They had just put out a Nexus S phone. My Epic had higher quadrant scores and the Neocore was higher. I was not overclocked. I actually noticed a little tearing on the display of the Nexus S when it was doing the " world " graphics test.

Team ACS.... Doing great.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skywalker6705:
I checked the stickies and googled it fairly throughly (phandroid, android forums, etc), but as I said it wasn't that there was no direction, just that it was all conflicting and each example only explained the bare minimum of the how-to and not the why of Odin's functions. I do tend to lurk alot, but even for a fairly intelligent user if you are not actively involved at XDA on a regular basis other than just for an occasional ROM as many are, then following the development of new tools and their use can easily slip by.

The first post in the very thread just assumes you know how to use Odin. Most other threads here have done the same. Plenty of different modems posted with a "then use odin" afterwards. I simply think that perhaps a clarification that in Odin for an Epic 4g you should tick PDA instead of Phone and WHY would be helpful.

edit: XDA Wiki seems to indicate it's a leaked Samsung tool, which might explain the lack of detailed documentation. Still, if users are supposed to rely on the wiki for the explanation of the usage, it should at least be linked.

edit2: Haha, from the wiki

[Epic 4G Android Development] skywalker6705:
The wiki and my own experience disagree. Choosing phone bricked me, while PDA worked perfectly.

edit: The wiki actually goes a step farther to show using Phone doesn't work, but is a good option to clear things if you had a failed flash via the PDA option. http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/SPH-D700#Odin_Stock_Flashing Last section.

Well, unreliable software strikes again. I apologize.

I still think it couldn't hurt to pop a link to the Odin article in the OP. I might see if I can get some good screenshots of the app and number the fields with explanations for clarity on the wiki later.

Flashing this now. LOL @ the side notes on the install. "unpacking the groceries" lololol
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Seems a number of people have enjoyed my attempt at making the flash process a little less boring. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] ElAguila:
Hopefully somebody can tell me if this is an issue with the actual phone hardware. I was having a problem with the phone not waking up on a daily basis. I flashed both kernels linked on the first page and did a fix permissions from the recovery console. Finally I installed setcpu and changed the minimum cpu speed. This seemed to have fixed the issue. Today it wouldn't come out of sleep mode but the battery was not hot like before. i pull the battery and then hold the buttons to start it into recovery mode. Instead of going into recovery mode it tells me that the data may not be ext4 and starts backing up everything so it can do the conversion to ext4. The only issue is that it was already ext4 and not rfs. Any ideas what would have caused this to happen?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
You have to be on EXT4 to run this rom in the first place....
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Sounds like data corruption. Take a Nandroid backup and restore it after a fresh flash.
[Epic 4G Android Development] eliseexige:
I need to try the WiMax tweak or whatever it is. Regardless of what ROM i'm on (tried 3 now), it constantly disconnects. I'm in San Antonio, too, which had one of the first 4G networks from Sprint. WTF.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Donmeister85:
Lol... you do have some humor going on there. Has anyone tried flashing the erebos port? Talk about funny!
[Epic 4G Android Development] wis3m0nkey:
I like this ROM a lot, however I've little favor to ask - can I get a clock app from Bonsai, I like alarm there a lot.

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Here's the clock, just flash :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shoulon:
Can a random reboot cause data corruption?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yes, in fact, it's the most likely to.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shoulon:
Thanks impaler. My buddy got a Nexus S 4G. had a random reboot and was getting fc's.

So if journaling is enabled does it still cause data corruption? (random reboot)

I'm abit jealous of that Nexus =( but nothing a liddo srf cant fix =)
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Sounds like he was, since he seemed to have it running mostly okay until the error message.

EDIT: he clearly stated that his system was already on EXT4, so I'm certain he experienced data corruption.

It sounds like he experienced data corruption that actually rendered the partition format unrecognizable - I would recommend starting over from a fresh Odin flash
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Journaling on eliminates this threat, yes :) But that sounds like a separate issue on the Nexus S.
[Epic 4G Android Development] wis3m0nkey:
awesome right on it :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shoulon:
ohh nono. sorry i totally worded that wrong. I just got my first random reboot on my epic.

I guess that visionkernel (1.2) is finally catching up too me. (no fc's yet though.)

And yes iknow, Random reboot is due to the kernel. no need to repeat urself =)
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
No problem, let me know if it works alright!

Oh ok lol, then yes, enable journaling and you should be fine :)

Try a reboot to get the media scanner to run again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] counterfeit187:
having troubles with some of the patches in the OP's, i tried to use both the sprint fix and the font fix but they don't work together. If I use the sprint instead of acs status then the lockscreen date is wonky, or I can have lockscreen date look right but then it says ACS where the provider should be in my dropdown notification. I've also been getting a force close on DRM service (com.sec.android.providers.drm).
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
That's probably because both change the framework-res.

I'm having issues installing this ROM. I'm coming from midNIGHT ROM 5.2. I wiped data 3times, cache 3 times, and Dalvik 3 times. After flashing this rom in Clockwork, sometimes the phone will boot all the way, other times it will stay stuck at the boot animation. If it does load all the way, every single application will force close and I am unable to do anything except reset via removing the battery. Any ideas as to what's going on?

I'm on ext4 and journaling is off.

[Epic 4G Android Development] siphuyoda:
Now I'm getting random freezes. Sometimes when I'm installing an app or just restarting LauncherPro. It's kinda consistent too. Freezes after about 5 minutes. After it freezes, the system will not boot again. It will go through a continual loop at the ACS Syndicate animation. My phone just does not like this rom...:(
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
For freezes please see the kernel fix in the second post ;)

Flashed VisionKernel and now Media Container Service force closes when I try to install an app from the Market. Upon reboot, android.process.acore and Google Services Framework keeps force closing.

It's been running smoothly for the last 15 minutes. Will post back if anymore issues arise. THANKS!

Blue text on flashing

Having tried a few searches and not finding an answer after a few pages of searching, I'm posting a question. I decided to give SyndicateROM a try. I have an image of EB13 handy, so I ODIN'd back to that, then did the OTA update to EB05. After that I did a one-click CWM to 3.0.0.6, then I booted into CWM, where the EXT4 conversion happened.

After the EXT4 convert I did the factory reset 3x, wiped cache 1x, wiped Dalvik 3x, then flashed Syndicate (syndicatefro110-standard-signed.zip). Upon flashing the phone hung out abnormally long on the Blitzing process, then midway through (shortly after unpacking the groceries I believe) I saw large blue text on the bottom, then on the top, then the phone reset. When resetting I saw the Sprint 4G, then I saw the Galaxy S with the stock Android that has the glint that goes across flickering in and out of the Galaxy S. I knew I was in trouble that that point, but to my surprise the phone booted into Android. I had Launcher Pro, but I had Touchwiz icons. After a FC or two the phone soft-robotted to the Galaxy S and Android once again.

After that I knew I had a problem, so I booted back into Clockwork. Same wipe procedure, then I flashed. This time It made it quite a bit further, blue text flashed, then it returned to CWM with Flashing Kernel as the last step displayed. I navigated to the reboot in Clockwork.

When the phone was rebooting I saw the Syndicate reboot symbol with the pulsing blue, then it did a soft reboot again before hitting Android, and now it's in Android. Things seem to be okay, except the Music Player and my media player of choice, Lithium, are both FCing immediately.

I'm following the directions to a T, and I'm not a stranger to flashing (G1 anyone) but I feel inclined to ask, does it sound as though I'm doing something wrong in the process? Should I be resetting battery stats even though I'm hanging out in the 50% region?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shoulon:
It's very rare for this to happen, but it's possible you had a Bad Flash first time around. Most of use usually use the Fully loaded version then switch the launcher. Me personally I would of re-ODIN'd everything to make sure of a "good root and flash." your step's are all correct though =)

Did you format your SD card btw? can have possible data corruption
[Epic 4G Android Development] bnguyen1983:
Yea did that already. No go. I even removed my old pictures to the computer and the gallery still reads them.
[Epic 4G Android Development] soundman1024:
I did not format the SD card. I've got an old Sandisk around here. I'll format that and put a re-downloaded copy of Syndicate. Is it okay to ODIN to EB13 and OTA to EC05 before doing the one-click CWM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Should be fine :)

I installed this ROM and wanted to say thanks for the ROM and the video instructions (having used Windows Mobile since 2004 and not knowing any of the details of Android until last week).

However, I would like to ask that one thing be fixed/improved: this mod "removed" AM/PM from the top bar by simply shifting the time to the right, and for someone like myself that runs 24H time, this chops off the minutes from the time display.

So, I would hope that this was simply an oversight, and that perhaps it is possible to code the system to include an "IF" that checks whether the time is 12H or 24H and acts appropriately.

Otherwise, I am hoping that there is a tweak to this mod available that makes the 24H display properly.
